BTC down 2.4%, ETH dropped 2.2%. Why do Bitcoin and Ethereum prices keep falling after the Fed decision?

Bitcoin and ethereum prices continued to fall on Friday after the US Federal Reserve decided to keep interest rates unchanged earlier this week. Investors are worried because the Fed signaled that interest rates could stay high for longer and may even rise later in 2026.

Expectations for interest rate cuts in 2026 have become very weak after the Fed’s latest meeting.
